The Damon Braces System
A broader and healthier smile in less time and with greater comfort than conventional braces.
Damon Braces
What are Damon braces?
Damon braces are an advanced orthodontic system designed to move teeth more efficiently than traditional braces. Instead of using elastic ties to hold the wire in place, Damon braces use a patented slide mechanism that allows the archwire to move more freely within the bracket. This helps reduce friction, pressure, and the buildup of bacteria that can sometimes collect around elastic ties. For many patients, that means a more comfortable experience, fewer adjustments, and a smoother path toward a healthier smile. At Personalized Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer Damon braces for patients in Reno, Sparks, Winnemucca, and surrounding communities.

BENEFITS
Why patients choose Damon
Damon braces are designed to do more than straighten teeth. With advanced bracket technology and a low-friction system, they can help make treatment more comfortable, efficient, and easier to keep clean.
Less pressure and more comfort
Because Damon braces allow the wire to move more freely, they can create less pressure than traditional braces. This may help make the treatment process feel more comfortable from start to finish.
Efficient tooth movement
The Damon System is designed to reduce friction, which can help teeth move more efficiently. For some patients, this may support shorter overall treatment times compared to traditional braces.
Easier oral hygiene
Damon braces do not rely on elastic ties, which can trap plaque and bacteria. With fewer places for buildup to collect, it may be easier to keep your teeth and braces clean throughout treatment.
Damon Braces System
Damon braces use a self-ligating bracket system with a slide mechanism that holds the archwire in place while allowing it to move more naturally. This reduces friction and eliminates the need for elastic ties. The result is a more advanced braces experience that may feel more comfortable, support efficient tooth movement, and make daily brushing and flossing a bit easier.
- Reduces friction
- Eliminates need for elastics
- Eliminates need for elastics
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces use elastic ties to secure the archwire to each bracket. While this system is highly effective, the elastic ties can create more friction and may collect bacteria more easily. Damon braces were designed to address these common concerns with a more modern, low-friction approach to orthodontic treatment.
- Create friction
- Slow down treatment
- Collect harmful bacteria.

Frequently asked questions
Have questions about Damon braces? Here are a few helpful answers to help you feel more informed before your visit.
Damon braces and traditional braces can both be effective, but they work a little differently. Damon braces use a self-ligating system that reduces friction by allowing the wire to move more freely within the bracket. This may make treatment feel more comfortable and may help teeth move efficiently, depending on your specific needs.
You may feel some pressure or soreness when your braces are first placed or adjusted, but Damon braces are designed to use less pressure than traditional braces. Most patients adjust quickly, and any discomfort is usually temporary.
Treatment time depends on your alignment, bite, age, and overall goals. Because Damon braces are designed to reduce friction and support efficient tooth movement, some patients may experience shorter treatment times than they would with traditional braces. We’ll give you a personalized timeline at your consultation.
In many ways, yes. Damon braces do not use elastic ties, which can collect plaque and bacteria. You’ll still need to brush and floss carefully around your brackets and wires, but the Damon System may make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
